Hello Tuesday. 🖼️ Antonia Canis, Cornelis de Vos.

The portrait depicts Antonia Canis, a woman of the wealthy Antwerp burgher class, seated and holding a feathered fan. She is dressed in a dark, rich gown, characteristic of 17th-century Baroque fashion, featuring a prominent, intricately ruffled white ruff collar and delicate lace cuffs. A pearl necklace and earrings adorn her. Antonia Canis is shown with a reserved yet dignified expression, looking directly at the viewer.

Her lacy ruff was beautifully painted. The light cast on it gives the painting depth.
